Fruit of the earth and work of human hands

Heads bowed
Stalks cut
Ears threshed
Grain crushed
White Flour

Head bowed
Fingers working
Yeast-flour
Dough rising
Bread cooked.

We offer you Father
this bread
Fruit of the earth
And work of human hands
Blessed be God forever.

Heads bowed
Bread no more
Christ's body
Given for all.

Heads bowed
Daily bread
Held in hand
Life's strand
God enfleshed.
Amen
